REFRIGERATO R.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,552, dated July 25, 1882.

Application led January 3, 1882. (No model.) V

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES JACKSON, ofthe city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Refrigerators and the following is declared to be a description of the same.

In that class of refri gerators known as freez-- My invention isdesigned to overcome these.

difficulties; and it'consists of a refrigerator in which sheet-metal boxes or tanks are employed lfor holding the refrigerating-mixture, and

these tanks are supported upon rodsq or skeleton iron girders, and there are doors or hatchwaysin the top of the refrigerator, throughV which these tanks are removed for cleaning and renewing.

In the drawings, Figure l is a vertical longi-v tudinal section of the refrigerator, and Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section of tho same.

The refrigerator is composed of the topa, bottom b, sides c c', and ends d d. The partition e is the same as commonly used for insuring a circulation of the air, and said partition runs lengthwise of the refrigerator and hasv the usual space betweenl its top and the top of the refrigerator.

The boxes or tanks f for holding the refrigerating-mixture are supported on rods or girders g, that extend from one side of the refrigerator to the other, and said tanks are separated and kept apart by removable T-shaped pieces g', of wood, placed at or near each end nof said tanks, tive of which I have shown in the drawings.

In the top of the refrigerator there isa door or cover, h, as shown in the drawings, directly over each oneof the tanks f, and large enough when open to allow the tank to be lifted out, replenished or cleaned, and replaced after the frost-crystals have been scraped off.

I may use instead of the T-shaped pieces g skeleton girders or bars between the tanks, extending across the refrigerator at about the middle of the tanks f, which bars or girders keep the tanks in place.

The lower portion of my refrigerator may be constructed in any desired manner for the reception of articles to be preserved by the cold air, and it may be provided with a door, as at i.

I claim as my invention- 1. In a refrigerator, the combination of the removable tanks f, rods or girders g, T-shaped pieces g', and doors for allowing of the removal of the tanks for cleaning and replenishing, substantially as set forth.

2. In a refrigerator, the/combination of the removable tanks f, rods or girders g, separatingpieces, and doors or covers h, substantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.

Signed by me this 29th day of December, A. D. 1881.

JAMES JACKSON.
